SDLKey
Name
- SDLKey -- An enumeration of keysym definitions. Note : A lot of the keysyms are unavailable on most keyboards. For example, the SDLK_1 keysym can't be accessed on a French keyboard. You get the SDLK_AMPERSAND instead. So, you should not hardcode any keysym unless it's one of the universal keys that are available on all keyboards. Also, remember that the position of the letters can vary and so, although all of them are available on most keyboards, their position might not be practical for your application.
And at last, never ever ever write your own custom ASCII conversion table. If you do that, you'll get angry non US users that will pester you to fix the keyboard handling for them, one for each keyboard layout existing in the world. If you want to know the symbol entered by the user, the SDL_KeyboardEvent event is the good place to do it.
Description
SDLK_FIRST: first keyboard key
SDLK_LAST: last keyboard key (keys from other devices can be mapped to SDLK id space with incrementing values)
